About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- HikersAfriqueSafaris0 contributionsFantasticThey were wonderful facilitators and guides. We had an excellent adventure. We had a wonderful time with the incredible team, and it was well worth it. Fantastic views and great photos. There is adventure out there. We recommend this experienceWritten 8 September 2024
- F9697ZKjeremys0 contributionsMount KenyaAmazing trip and beautifully organised. Outdoor Africa were very efficient, very friendly and our guide James Mwangi was excellent. We felt very safe in his hands.Written 20 January 2024
- lucya8410 contributionsAmazing way to start the yearI can't recommend Africa Outdoors highly enough. From first contact, Willy was helpful, clear and responsive so we felt confident about what we were taking on. The team he put together for our climb was brilliant. James Mwangi, with his decades experience as a guide and in mountain rescue, made me relax, trust the pace he set and his judgement about how to summit. With his expertise, we summited early, missing the clouds, and we didn't suffer from the altitude. The amazing meals by Kim our cook were tailored to hiking at altitude and gave us the energy we needed. The cheerful porters (Anna, James, Paul, Nelson and Geoffrey) removed all the usual hard work of camping, while small touches, like hot water, soap and flannels brought to us and our 'dining' tent, complete with table and chairs, made us feel so well-cared for. Above all, I'll remember the endless, contagious laughter of the Africa Outdoors team as we lay exhausted in our tent after a hard day. Thank you so much everyone. What a fantastic start to 2024!

- J2725YSjasonm0 contributionsAmazing hike in Mt Kenya to Lenana PointI recommend this hike 100%. It was the perfect combination of beautiful scenery and a challenging summit. Willy from African Outdoors was always available on what’s app to answer any of my questions and my guide James was spectacular providing lots of laughs and motivation when needed. His level of fitness was almost unnatural. A true super hero.!! The food provided was filling and tasted great and the rest of the the porters and chef did a great job.Written 6 September 2023
- emmakP633SI0 contributionsBest climb everWilly and his team were just superb with us! My friend and I had an amazing time on Mt. Kenya. Our guide James was kind and encouraging especially to me whose first time it was to climb such a high mountain. The food was delicious and more enough, the porters were great! I would recommend African Outdoors to anyone who wants to climb Mt. Kenya.Written 3 September 2023
- Emily L0 contributionsGreat Communication and OrganizationLet me start off by saying that Willy is fantastic with communication! He anticipated needs and was very responsive to requests. My group was made up of (ahem) older adults and one teenager. Our guides James and Joseph were fabulous. My group could not praise them enough. They kept us motivated and took real care with our health all the way up to Point Lenana and back down to Old Moses camp. I highly recommend Africa Outdoors for value and customer service.Written 24 March 2023
- Shaelynkristen0 contributionsMt. Kenya Trek (Chogoria- Sirimon Route)We had a incredible experience hiking Mt Kenya with Africa Outdoors from the Chogoria Gate, down the Sirimon Route. Would definitely recommend!! Willy was so accommodating and helpful in preparation, and James is a trustworthy guide who set a steady pace and helped our team stay healthy and safe and enjoy summiting the mountain. Beautiful views every day, delicious meals and snacks, and wonderful company. I would love to go again sometime!Written 15 March 2023

- jademH9213WR0 contributionsI CONQUERED :Mt Kilimanjaro -Machame Route :Simply Amazing 👏 .Africa outdoor company will always be my number 1 choice when it comes to hiking activities. The team is dedicated ,patient, organized ,has a good understanding of all routes, and most importantly, has a positive intent for all the guests. Machame route is so so beautiful 😍 and easiest to conquer. My summit success was all possible because of Africa outdoor team . Asante SanaWritten 18 January 2023
- Zachary C0 contributionsWilly and James will get you to the topWilly and his guide James did an incredible job getting our crew of 5 up and down the mountain. One of our group had his flights delayed and the airline lost his bag that had all his hiking gear in it. Willy went out of his way to go and get our friends bag at the Nairobi airport and drive it all the way up to Chogoria gate and drop it off just in time for him to start his trek. James is an expert guide with more than 30 years experience and is also one of the leaders of the Mt Kenya high altitude rescue team. We were in good hands. The porters were great setting up camp. The cook cooked so much food every meal and it was really good. If you’re planning on summitting Mt Kenya Will and his team should be your guides.Written 17 January 2023
- MachoniontheGO0 contributionsExceptionalThe service was exceptional right from pick up in Nairobi, through to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and back home. I have done several hikes with Africa outdoors including the Mount Kenya climb and I have loved the experience. As a photographer, I have always had a guide as the fast one trudge along while I take pictures of the travel (More can be noted on my youtube channel @MachoniontheGO) I will recommend Africa outdoors anytime as they have been outstanding in the outdoors where I have gone with them. Keep up the good work @Willy and companyWritten 5 November 2022

- MfeJansen0 contributionsStrenuous but amazing trekking experienceWe organized this trip with Willy, rented some equipment (sleeping bag) with him and can only recommend it. Well organized, the trip definitely is better for those with hiking experience, but worth it. The Trek was led by a very capable guide and it was a unique experience.

Me and my cousin had a bad experience at the gate of the national Park, then Willy appeared, offered to be our guide and helped to solve the problem. We can't be more satisfied of the decision, Willy and James were great guides, taking care of every detail, giving us advice, etc. so that everybody succeed to the summit. Also the porters and chef are great at their job! Fully recommended! Asante Sana!

Africa Outdoors (Willy) planned a fantastic 5days, 4nights trek up Mt. Kenya where we did not have to think of anything expect if we had drunk enough water and eaten enough food. You'd expect food on a hike to be bland, but that was not the case, the cooks outdid themselves and the porters were very respectul and handy with hot water for tea/cofee (it was cold up there).
Also, our guide, James, was very knowledgeable about the mountain (where you can get network- for that important phonecall/ whatsapp message- and he knew the names of the plants, lakes, tarns, valleys and rivers) and was patient with our group, such that we all managed to reach the summit :-)
The hike was a pleasant break from the rush of the city, and ending it with the warm shower at Meru Bandas was a great way to end it. I enjoyed it all, thanks for organizing it.

The trip was such a wonderful adventure and I know for a fact that it had everything to do with how Willy and his team were patient and accommodating, not to mention knowledgeable. Africa Outdoors were well equipped and ready to handle every eventuality that could be or was thrown at us by the mountain.

Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Iuri. I'm planning to do this trek with you. I just have a few questions. Apparently, end of March (when I'm planning to do) is the rain season. Do you think it can be done? Or perhaps it would be better in the begin of March ? Perhaps I can get myself free for it. Is it able to book this package for myself only? Perhaps my girlfriend can come, but not sure yet.Thank you in advanced and I'm looking forward to hear from you.
